Kamsah hamnida! (Thank you, in Korean)

Never in your life have you seen a little boy so excited. While all the other kids stood, the picture of dignification (is that a word?), Chris didn't bother to hide his delight.

He jumped up and down.

He swung his new belt over his head like a lasso.

He danced around in circles.

He assumed the "Rocky" pose (I didn't even know he knew who "Rocky" was.)

All from the back row of the class, while little lines of white soldiers stood solemnly, exchanging their old belts for new, and hanging their old belts around their necks. Finally his instructor had pity and went back to calm him down and help him with his new belt.

Hi!Haha! I remember my white/yellow belt. I got my black belt 3 years ago, and eventually used my old belts to tie bikes and baby cars together so we could have a train and ride around outside. :D Fun times.
